Waiting‌ ‌for‌ ‌home-[ To: ‌runaway‌ ‌home.‌]

Walking,‌ ‌walking‌ ‌

Following‌ ‌your‌ ‌footprints‌ ‌

I‌ ‌have‌ ‌decided‌ ‌to‌ ‌wait‌ ‌for‌ ‌you‌ ‌

To‌ ‌come‌ ‌back‌ ‌to‌ ‌me.‌ ‌

I‌ ‌sit‌ ‌under‌ ‌the‌ ‌roof,‌ ‌

On‌ ‌the‌ ‌perron,‌ ‌

Among‌ ‌the‌ ‌growing‌ ‌grasses,‌ ‌

Besides‌ ‌the‌ ‌street‌ ‌lights,‌ ‌

Waiting‌ ‌for‌ ‌you‌ ‌

To‌ ‌turn‌ ‌back‌ ‌

And‌ ‌return‌ ‌to‌ ‌your‌ ‌place,‌ ‌

In‌ ‌my‌ ‌arms.‌ ‌

The‌ ‌sky‌ ‌keeps‌ ‌changing‌ ‌its‌ ‌hue‌ ‌

Again...‌ ‌

And‌ ‌again.‌ ‌

Even‌ ‌the‌ ‌street‌ ‌light‌ ‌has‌ ‌abandoned‌ ‌me‌ ‌

As‌ ‌I‌ ‌sit‌ ‌here‌ ‌waiting‌ ‌for‌ ‌you‌ ‌to‌ ‌come.‌ ‌

Are‌ ‌you‌ ‌leaving‌ ‌me‌ ‌stranded too?‌ ‌

What‌ ‌went‌ ‌wrong‌ ‌on‌ ‌our‌ ‌journey‌ ‌home?‌ ‌

That‌ ‌you‌ ‌had‌ ‌to‌ ‌leave‌ ‌me‌ ‌in‌ ‌between.‌ ‌

Should‌ ‌I‌ ‌keep‌ ‌waiting‌ ‌for‌ ‌you‌ ‌

Or‌ ‌your‌ ‌reason‌ ‌for‌ ‌leaving?‌ ‌
